馬里蘭州和華盛頓州州長正式簽署立法，廢除了各自的州的銷售和使用稅的豁免，該立法是在零售購買硬幣和珍貴金屬金條，以廢除各自的州的銷售和使用稅的豁免。

ND和華盛頓廢除對金條和硬幣購買的銷售免稅

The governors of Maryland and Washington have signed legislation that repeals the states' sales- and use-tax exemptions on the retail purchase of coins and precious-metal bullion, according to the National Coin & Bullion Association (NCBA).

根據國家硬幣和金銀協會（NCBA）的數據，馬里蘭州和華盛頓州州長已簽署了對零售購買硬幣和珍貴金屬金銀的銷售和稅收豁免的立法。

Maryland governor Wes Moore signed House Bill 352, the Budget Reconciliation and Financing Act of 2025, on May 20, 2025. The measure eliminates the state’s sales-tax exemption for bullion and coin purchases over $1,000, a provision that helped Maryland remain competitive in the national numismatic market.

馬里蘭州州長韋斯·摩爾（Wes Moore）於2025年5月20日簽署了352號法案，《 2025年的預算和解與融資法》。該措施消除了該州對金銀的銷售稅免稅和購買超過1,000美元的銷售稅，這一規定幫助馬里蘭州在國家資金市場中保持競爭力。

The legislation also preserves a narrow, tailored exemption for events held at the Baltimore Convention Center. All other retail transactions will be subject to Maryland’s 6% sales tax beginning July 1, 2025.

該立法還保留了在巴爾的摩會議中心舉行的事件的狹窄，量身定制的豁免。所有其他零售交易將從2025年7月1日開始繳納馬里蘭州的6％營業稅。

On the same day, Washington governor Bob Ferguson signed Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5794, which repeals the sales- and use-tax exemption for purchases of precious-metal bullion and monetized bullion as part of a broader tax policy overhaul. This repeal will take effect January 1, 2026, making Washington one of the only western states without an exemption.

同一天，華盛頓州長鮑勃·弗格森（Bob Ferguson）簽署了全方位的參議院參議院法案，該法案廢除了購買珍貴金屬金銀的銷售和用稅豁免，作為更廣泛的稅收政策大修的一部分。這項廢除將於2026年1月1日生效，使華盛頓成為沒有豁免的僅有的西方國家之一。

Both states now join the minority of U.S. jurisdictions that impose sales tax on money, despite a growing national consensus recognizing coins and bullion as financial instruments, not consumable goods.

現在，兩國都加入了美國少數司法管轄區對金錢徵收銷售稅，儘管全國共識越來越多地承認硬幣和金條是金融工具，而不是消耗品。

NCBA leaders expressed concern over the long-term economic impact these repeals will have on local dealers, investors, and collectors.

NCBA領導人對這些廢除對當地經銷商，投資者和收藏家的長期經濟影響表示關注。

“These legislative actions will drive commerce out of Maryland and Washington and into neighboring states with more favorable tax treatment,” said NCBA executive director David Crenshaw. “It’s a step backward that contradicts successful tax policy models across the country.”

NCBA執行董事戴維·克倫肖（David Crenshaw）說：“這些立法行動將以更有利的稅收待遇將商業帶入馬里蘭州和華盛頓州，並進入鄰國。” “這與全國成功的稅收政策模式相矛盾。”

In Maryland, efforts are already underway in conjunction with Whitman Expos and other partners to mount a comprehensive push during the 2026 legislative session to reinstate and expand the original exemption. In Washington, NCBA is engaging stakeholders to assess economic impacts and prepare a data-driven case for legislative reconsideration in coming sessions.

在馬里蘭州，在2026年立法會議期間，已經與惠特曼博覽會和其他合作夥伴一起進行了努力，以恢復和擴大原始豁免。在華盛頓，NCBA正在吸引利益相關者評估經濟影響，並為即將到來的會議準備數據驅動的案例。
